I've been thinking about this election, and what a shitty choice we have in candidates. That's how it always seems to be. As Evolving has pointed out numerous times, whenever one party gets into power, they do not reverse the damage done to our freedoms by the other party, but simply strip away more freedoms. How can we end this cycle? How can we restore freedom to our country? It's all well and good to talk about how the country should be run, but how can we actually bring about those changes?

--------------------You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Pff...we have fuck all power, really. We can use our vote, which, if you don't like the main choices, means very little. Probably the biggest influence we wield is our spending power. More so for us pinkos, as we can buy from companies that respect the environment.

To be honest, I don't think my cause (or yours, for that matter) stands much chance of getting near any real power in the forseeable future. The best way of getting power is through money, I guess.

If America's Muslims don't want to be identified with America's enemies, they are going to need new leaders and loud voices. Slapping the word "peace" over the door of the mosque just isn't going to do it anymore.

One day people will look back on the US superpower as we look back on the British Empire, or the Soviet Union, or the Roman Empire. There is no doubt America will come to an end, and then some new empire will take over. The question is just posed, when?

When we are all speaking spanish and nobody living in America has any connection to the history that founded it. It will be like Rome, fading out into obscurity as result of lack of cultural identity and apathy, rather than a quick demise.
